Clinical ethics support services initially developed in the United States of America, following court cases such as the Karen Quinlan case, which stressed the need for mechanisms to resolve ethical disputes within health care. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations requirement for hospitals, nursing homes, and home care agencies to have a standing mechanism to address ethical issues has also fostered this development (this requirement no longer appears in the Joint Commission regulations, however). Despite initial doubts as the possibility of importing what was initially felt to be a specificity of the US system, ethics support services have developed in many other countries, including Canada〔MacRae S. et al: Clinical bioethics integration, sustainability, and accountability: the Hub and Spokes Strategy Journal of Medical Ethics 2005;31:256-261〕 but also various countries in Europe〔Forde R. et al: Clinical ethics, information, and communication: review of 31 cases from a clinical ethics committee. J Med Ethics. 2005 Feb;31(2):73-7〕 and Asia.〔Fukuyama M. et al: A report on small team clinical ethics consultation programmes in Japan. J Med Ethics. 2008 Dec;34(12):858-62〕 In order to share experience and resources among these clinical research ethics consultation and support services, networks and platforms have increasingly developed.〔Slowther A. et al: Development of clinical ethics committees. BMJ.2004;328(7445):950–952〕 This page is intended to summarise existing online resources aimed at assisting new and developing clinical ethics support services. Its goal is to make these resources more easily accessible. Listing in this page does not constitute endorsement of the various contents: users will still need to judge the value of these resources for themselves. It is reasonable to suppose that these resources will increasingly be international. Because of the role of the English language in international communication, multi-lingual resources whose languages include English are given in their English title. Those not available in English are given in their original language. ==Clinical ethics consultation networks== ''Listed by country'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resources for clinical ethics consultation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
